Oregon 450 sale Starting August 27 through Labor Day, the Oregon 450 is going on sale for $250 at REI. Best price I've seen on this unit, which many now consider to be the best handheld that Garmin has made.

The National Weather Service is currently showing an Air Quality Alert for the whole state of New Jersey. So... don't breathe today: you have been warned! I wonder if this is related to expected high traffic volume on Memorial Day?...

For all you 60csx fans, this is just about the best price I've seen. The REI sale runs through Memorial Day: http://www.rei.com/product/735607 No doubt they are clearing out inventory in anticipation of the new 62S series: http://forums.gpsfiledepot.com/index.php/topic,1222.msg7820.html#msg7820

Just got back from my accountant and am on my way to the post office with checks for the state and the feds. How depressing... However, my accountant told me something I didn't realize. She said that due to Atlantic County being declared a Federal Disaster Area earlier this month, I could...

According to an article in today's Wall Street Journal, New Jersey rates 46th out of 50 states in resident satisfaction. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB126152663510002187.html Personally, I am not complaining (which just proves I am not a native New Jerseyan I guess)... :)

Was listening to WVLT this afternoon and John D'iorio had a guest from the Forestry Service talking about the Big Tree program. Only got to hear a few minutes of this, but found the following link: http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/forest/community/bigtree.html You'd think they would...

If you're looking for a GPS, this strikes me as a good deal. The $250 price is listed in REI's Winter Sale brochure and is in effect from November 20-30. Here's a link; I guess it will continue to show the $400 price until the sale begins: http://www.rei.com/product/775802 This unit will give...

I have been working in Philadelphia all week and it was so miserable when I came home last night that I didn't even go out for a walk. I use my wheelbarrow as an unofficial rain gauge, and had emptied it out on Tuesday evening. This evening I went out, and to my amazement there was about 10...
